Villain: After Intercepting the Female Lead, the Protagonist Collapses-Chapter 210
Chapter 210: Ji Menglan’s Hesitation, Going All Out!
Returning to Crouching Dragon Villa, Jiang Che felt bored again. He realized that his daily routine involved either beating up the protagonist or being on his way to beat up the protagonist.
Such a life seemed too monotonous. He thought he should set a goal for himself to avoid living so aimlessly…
After some contemplation, Jiang Che quickly abandoned the idea. People live for two things: power and pleasure. But he lacked neither.
As the eldest young master of the Jiang family in Linjiang City and the number one young master in Linjiang, he had many women.
Although he had no power in his hands, his father had significant influence throughout Jiangzhou. Jiang Che considered himself a mundane person without grand ambitions.
Having beautiful women to accompany him, endless money to spend, and respect wherever he went without any worries—such a life was pretty good…
Apart from beating up the protagonist, he seemed to have nothing else to do. After all, he had already reached the Unity of Man and Heaven stage in cultivation.
His mindset had also changed; now, besides becoming stronger, he had no other pursuits.
“Young Master, I’ve broken through to the mid-stage Innate!” While Jiang Che was thinking, Ah Qing walked over, her legs wrapped in white silk, her face full of excitement.
“Very good, impressive.” Jiang Che smiled and praised. After taking the Marrow Cleansing Pill, Ah Qing’s cultivation speed had visibly increased.
Although it couldn’t compare to his, it was far better than that of ordinary martial artists. It had been less than a month since she broke through to the Innate stage, and now Ah Qing had advanced again.
“Hehe, it’s all thanks to you, Young Master!” Ah Qing said with a smile, looking at Jiang Che with admiration. She knew her achievements were all because of him; otherwise, she would still be a powerless ordinary person.
“You broke through to the mid-stage Innate?” Ji Menglan walked in from the living room door, looking at Ah Qing with shocked eyes.
She was puzzled, not understanding why Ah Qing’s cultivation had progressed so quickly.
She had been stuck at the mid-stage Innate for two years. Although she had slacked off in her cultivation after Jiang Che sealed her power, she had been diligently practicing before that without any sign of breaking through. How did Ah Qing advance so quickly?
“Yes.” Ah Qing nodded with a radiant smile, looking very pleased.
“How did you break through so quickly? Did you practice some special martial arts technique?” Ji Menglan asked, her large eyes filled with curiosity and a strong desire for knowledge.
“No, the young master gave me a pill called Marrow Cleansing Pill, which changed my constitution. Then my cultivation speed increased.”
“Marrow Cleansing Pill?” Hearing Ah Qing’s words, Ji Menglan turned to look at Jiang Che, her expression strange and eyes full of shock. freewёbnoνel.com
She had heard her master mention the existence of such a pill, but she never thought Jiang Che would have it.
The Marrow Cleansing Pill could change a martial artist’s aptitude, allowing even a pig to cultivate after cleansing the meridians. Its preciousness was self-evident; even one pill would cause a bloodbath among major martial arts families if it appeared on the market.
But Ji Menglan never expected Jiang Che to give such a precious pill to Ah Qing. Wasn’t he supposed to be a cold-blooded animal?
If she knew that this incredibly precious pill was nothing more than trash in Jiang Che’s eyes, she wouldn’t know how to react…
Ji Menglan’s expression turned awkward, looking hesitant and embarrassed, unable to say a word despite her desire.
She wanted to ask Jiang Che if he had more of such pills; she wanted one too. But due to their complicated relationship, she couldn’t bring herself to ask, fearing that Jiang Che might look down on her.
“Do you want a Marrow Cleansing Pill too?” Seeing Ji Menglan’s shy demeanor, Jiang Che raised an eyebrow, his tone playful.
He had just checked his attribute panel yesterday and saw that he still had nine Marrow Cleansing Pills left. They weren’t particularly precious to him, but it depended on her performance.
“Mm~” Ji Menglan responded in a voice as soft as a mosquito’s, her face turning slightly red, looking embarrassed. After all, she had never asked Jiang Che for anything before; this was her first time.
“I have plenty of these. It’s not impossible if you want one. But I don’t have a habit of giving things for free. If you want it, earn it yourself.” Jiang Che glanced at Ji Menglan and then sat on the sofa.
His meaning was clear, and there was no way Ji Menglan wouldn’t understand. As long as she pleased him, everything was negotiable. Otherwise, don’t even think about it!
Ji Menglan’s face showed a struggle; she understood what Jiang Che meant. But Ah Qing was still there, and she couldn’t bring herself to act.
“Young Master, Sister Menglan, I’ll go water the flowers in the garden.” Ah Qing also noticed Ji Menglan’s embarrassment. She giggled, covered her mouth, and left the living room to water the flowers, taking all the maids with her.
She instructed them not to return for an hour because she knew Jiang Che well. Whenever he treated her cold condition, it usually took at least an hour.
……
After Ah Qing and the maids left, Ji Menglan sat down opposite Jiang Che. Her face was bright red, feeling shy. Although Jiang Che had suggested this several times before, she had always refused.
She found it too embarrassing. Jiang Che’s preferences were really peculiar. But this time, for the Marrow Cleansing Pill, she decided to go all out!
The pill’s allure was too great for her; no martial artist could resist it. Once she takes the Marrow Cleansing Pill, breaking through to the Transformation stage within three years wasn’t impossible.
Besides, Jiang Che wasn’t a beast. He wouldn’t actually eat her, right? After some hesitation, Ji Menglan placed her bare, white silk-clad foot on Jiang Che’s leg…
